Silver is finally catching up to gold, with a year-to-date gain of 17.6% as of April 2024, outpacing gold’s 13.4%. This surge is driven by a significant supply deficit for the fourth consecutive year and robust industrial demand from sectors like photovoltaics, vehicle electrification, 5G technology, and AI applications. Despite market recalibration and interest rate expectations, WisdomTree forecasts silver to trade above $32/oz by Q1 2025, reflecting its leveraged relationship with gold and increasing industrial applications. The strong correlation between silver and gold, alongside growing industrial demand, positions silver for continued gains amid economic fluctuations.
